Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has
decried the mass failure of students of the state in the just-
released 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations
(UTME).
The governor attributed the development to poor knowledge
of information communication technology (ICT).
AbdulRazaq said this in Malete, Moro Local Government
Area at the seventh convocation ceremony of the Kwara
State University (KWASU).

The governor who was represented by his deputy, Kayode
Alabi, said: “Today, Kwara has regressed in many areas. We
recently read about how several students from the state
struggled with computer-based UTME, apparently resulting
in mass failure among our children.
“This must be tackled immediately, if Kwara must compete
in the 21st century economy dominated by ICT. How do we
get our children to understand the ‘liberating and
exploitative” powers of information in the digital age when
they don’t even have the most basic knowledge of
computer?
“Our administration is disturbed by the systemic problem in
our education system, which manifested in the 2019 UTME.
It is immaterial if there are other parts of Nigeria with a
similar crisis. We, in Kwara, have a duty to roll back this
abnormality in the most practical way.
‘We have a duty to ensure that the overwhelming majority of
our children are given the opportunity to excel by having
access to IT-enabled education.”
He hailed KWASU for “helping to redraw the map of Nigeria
by gradually and in the most ambitious ways, bringing our
state to national and global reckoning”.
“It is heart-warming to note that the institution is indeed
punching above its weight in the way it has quickly
established itself as a centre of academic innovation and
excellence within 10 years of its founding,” he said.

it's this blame game that ends buhari government in a bad manner in his first term in office, now you have towed that part. you better change for good. Gej left the GDP growth at 6 % why buhari lowered it down to 2%, don't you see that buhari is a clueless failure. he's just after government and not government.

I hope you understand that pdp caused the problem facing Nigeria today pdp created poverty, bandits, boko haram, religious crises and ethnicity.

kwara State University is one of the fastest State University in Nigeria. you can check google for the details of their academic calendar.

You should be the one to bury your head in shame for advocating for those who made life bitterness for the people because of misgoverned. Tell me Nigeria GDP before pdp took over in 1999? Pdp left GDP at 6% only existing on newspaper not visible. Posterity will judge you guys.

you keep repeating the same every time, that's why you never change for good likewise your clueless president that never meant well for the economy of Nigeria. I have known you for that cos' you never yield to advice the same way that clueless president buhari never yielded to advise of different economist in the world. that's why At times I always avoid cos' your thinking faculty is very low. you keep on repeating the same thing. why can't you tell me how buhari create 20 million jobs for Nigerians in his last 4 years. buhari is only about power grabbing, he doesn't care about governance. that's why he has failed woefully in economy sector of Nigeria.

Kwara students are failing because they are classified as educationally disadvantaged northern state, they get admission with small cut off points, the urge to work hard is no longer there, they have forgotten that they are supposed to be Yorubas who are high performers in academic

He should improve the standard of education in the state and stop complaining to me I gat no time for this

Okay, we here you.

Some idiots on Nairaland who have never been to Kwara state in their lives believe Saraki is a saint. Yeye people

Una people like school before? Mass failure isn't always a bad thing it means you should look for alternatives or the exam was too difficult or the teachers didn't do a good job it just means you are not doing something right instead of DECRYING why not make better policies on education

Allah and Muhammad didn't help them? Wonderful!!

Amuocha:
Buhari sef

Abeg What did MBuhari Do again ooo..
This thread is talking about Education In KWARA STATE not NIGERIA..
Buh someone here is faulting MBuhari For the situation of things.. Biko, NIGERIA and KWARA STATE, How are they related

Frustrated fellow..smh

what do you expect when teachers are poorly and inadequately paid? Especially @primary and Junior Secondary level. It was during the immediate past administration I understand d true meaning of CIVIL SERVANT, when people were donating for teachers. I regret being a teacher

That's what a sensible Gov should be concerned about

My Dear Brother, If You Depend Heavily On The Government To Provide Everything For You, You Will Suffer.
You Are The One That Can Better Your Situations.
We People Are Clamouring That We Are Suffering, Whereas We Are The Cause Of It..
NIGERIA is still a developing county. so that means we have a very long way to go.. And What do you say in a country of 200,000,000 Peoples, How do you expect the government to meet up with the needs of everyone all at once. When our Executive, Judiciary, And Legislative System Is The BEDROCK of Corruption.. No matter how worse the economy might be today or how good it might be tomorrow, people will still complain..

Leave the Gang of The lazy youth and try to better your life.

'Oga' Stop Crying, Do What You Feel Can Improve The Situation.

nice response from you.

Honestly I don't like engage in argument with angry people like you Because you will not make any valid point. You said I keep saying the same thing what do you want me to say when it's obvious that what I'm saying is true. Its laughable to say Buhari cause Nigeria economy problem you and me know that Buhari inherited poor economic from previous administration. Pdp governed Nigeria for 16 years without anything to show. Imagine it was took pdp 16years to spoiled our country and you think to fixed it would only take 4days. Buhari isn't a German machine he can only give try.
